Charlotte Gainsbourg is a true modern day muse, someone who is often considered to be inseparable from her longtime friend (and soon to be fragrance collaborator), Balenciaga creative director Nicolas Ghesquiere. The French star is very often photographed in uber-costly Balenciaga frocks.

At the Cannes Film Festival this year, Gainsbourg won the best actress prize for her role as a grieving mother in Danish director Lars von Trier’s violent new drama ‘Antichrist’. Fittingly, the star looked perfectly put together at the festival in a black and white silk Balenciaga mini dress, gold and silver twisted cuffs, a classic clutch, and strappy sandals.
